Aside from the news world, I have worked as a legal writer for a top immigration law firm in D.C., and as a campaign press secretary and digital manager for State Senator Rich Madaleno during the 2018 gubernatorial race in Maryland.

​

As part of my Master's degree in Bilingual Journalism from the Sorbonne University in Paris,

I interned at the news magazine Courrier International and the

Agence France-Presse bureau in Athens, Greece. 

 

I also hold a Master's degree in International Studies, as part of which I spent a semester at New York University to complete my comparative research on the historical role the African-American newspaper The Chicago Tribune and the Greek-American National Herald played in their respective ethnic communities.​ This dissertation followed my previous comparative research on the role of The Irish Times and The Times in the outcome of the landmark 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty.

​

I have lived in Greece as part of my Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a minor in Political Science, and attended an intensive summer program at the London School of Journalism. I also won a $1000 travel grant from the Zellidja association for a one-month research project that took me around Ireland to study the country's memory of war as told through folk music. My report was later exhibited at the French National Library. 

​

I am bilingual in French and conversational in modern Greek and Italian,

and I play the oboe and alto saxophone. Fun fact: I learned to fly a four-seater airplane at age 16 before getting my driver's license.
